2022 GW : Day 3 Oshino Hakkai, Japan

Perfect View

Oshino Hakkai (忍野八海) is a touristy set of eight ponds in Oshino, a small village in the Fuji Five Lake region, located between Lake Kawaguchiko and Lake Yamanakako on the site of a former sixth lake that dried out several hundred years ago. The eight ponds are fed by snow melt from the slopes of nearby Mount Fuji that filters down the mountain through porous layers of lava for over 80 years, resulting in very clear spring water that is revered by the locals.

Perfect View
Looks like a wallpaper

visitors can drink the cool water straight from the source. The ponds are quite deep and have interesting freshwater plant life and large fish. Although the ponds have been developed into tourist attractions and can become quite crowded with visitors, they have a pleasant atmosphere as long as you do not expect untouched nature.

World Heritage

You will find many restaurants, souvenir shops, and food vendors around the ponds which sell vegetables, sweets, pickles, crafts, and other local products. Some operate small outdoor grills to attract shoppers with the alluring smells of roasted sweet potato and toasted rice crackers (osenbei).

A small open-air museum, the Hannoki Bayashi Shiryokan, surrounds Oshino Hakkai’s largest pond and costs a small admission fee. It contains a traditional thatched roof farmhouse that can be viewed inside and displays various farming tools, household items, samurai armor, and weapons.

Yakiniku by the Beach

Pork Grill

Days and months have passed, Japan has already gotten over its situation. The omicron virus was spreading so fast but, the government won’t declare a state of emergency because it will not make sense at all, people losing jobs, companies declaring for lost or close their business instead, children can’t learn anything even the do homeschooling/learning still is not the same. Restaurants and stores now operate normally, you can stay late no curfew at all. Just live with the virus because we will lose everything if they will limit all the business. We still have to wear a mask all the time and it was stated everywhere in a train, bus stop or inside, stores, the restaurant even in public places you have to wear a mask for your protection also protection for others.

Salad

More meat… Yum
Soft Ice cream for dessert

We had time to visit the beach and it was freezing cold. Stayed for an hour even though the sun is up but the wind was so cold we can’t take it. We started to feel the cold inside our jackets.

nice wave
Blue sky and water
Kids are playing
people don’t mind the cold weather
nice formation rock

Perhaps, next visit perhaps this coming spring day not that cold I think. Great for a picnic by the beach or play with the kids and friends. Sometimes we have to get away for away you don’t have to go for a long trip this area was nearby in our home. To just breathe and relax nothing to do and be thankful for everything.

Their first entry was the Air Run Area

A new sensation inflatable obstacle course that everyone can enjoy safely.
The Air Run introduced at the Tondemi Heiwajima for the first time has been a very popular activity where you can easily compete with your friends, children, or parents.

This time, the Air Run installed in Tondemi Yokosuka is the “Reverse Version” that has further evolved the exciting competition. The player starts the race by pressing the button at the entrance. The player has to run to the other end press the button and come back to the entrance again.
Due to the fact that there is a turnaround, there are different obstacles for going and returning even on the same course, so you can enjoy one course twice as much on the way back and forth. You can enjoy competing the time with your friends, children or parents.

The course is 54 meters long and many obstacles in the course are made of an inflatable. The Player has to go through obstacles by climbing, passing through, jumping over, and pushing down.

A climbing wall area where both adults and children can enjoy. The height of the wall is 6m. We have 8 types of walls and 11 courses with different levels of difficulty that children can enjoy climbing easily.
participants can attach ropes with speed reducers to enjoy climbing safely.
Climbing walls from “Clip’n Climb” are installed. There are various types of walls, including one called “Ascender” which was first installed in Japan.

In addition, the original wall has been set up for children to learn how to climb naturally. The original route was designed under the supervision of IFSC * Official International Route Setter. Children will learn the climbing skills naturally while having fun. The climbing wall area also has a glass ceiling and wall on the seaside, and players who reach the top of the wall can see the view of Yokosuka Bay.

Tondemi has improved the Rope Course to make it even easier. You can experience it without wearing a safety harness. Even small children can enjoy the excitement at high altitudes. It is an evolution of the Rope course specially developed at Tondemi Yokosuka.

On the Rope Walk, you can experience 14 kinds of activities with different levels of difficulty. The net is stretched around a height of about 4.6 m and a total length of 70 meters. There is also a net trampoline of 4.5m and you can fully enjoy the thrills.
From the top of the course, you can see other participants playing in the trampoline area below, and you can see the Yokosuka main port when you go up to the front glass side. This activity is surrounded by a net, so it is safe and fun to challenge without a harness.
Since you don’t wear a harness, you can move more freely.

In addition, it is illuminated in various colors at night. You can enjoy the Rope Walk with a different look from the daytime.

Sports Attraction Area

This is an area with many sports-themed activities that both adults and children can enjoy together. Sports such as “soccer”, “basketball”, “dodgeball”, and “bowling” are redesigned with new rules. Many digital sports attractions can be played here too!

Also, You can enjoy our latest digital contents of “Chekkori Tamaire” and “Odama Okuri”.

You can play these activities only here in Tondemi Yokosuka.

In addition, you can enjoy “Sisy Fox”, the ball rolling activity. This is the first permanent installation in Japan.

“SiSy Fox” is a game with a new sensation in which a player uses a large spherical control device in front of the screen to roll a large rock or ball of the player to reach the goal. Players can actually rotate the spherical control device to move the on-screen character. Both small children and adults can play the game.

Quick Action Arena Area

This is a new activity developed for Tondemi Yokosuka.
The concept is “Quick Press Athletic”.
The “Quick Action Arena”, which is an evolution of athletics, has a total of 6 stages, and many buttons are installed in each stage.

Players compete in time for which player can press more buttons.
The player presses the button while going through many obstacles such as ball pool, large ball, net, etc that differ for each stage.
In the 5th stage, a Max of 4 people can participate together and compete in a 6m high athletic.
At the end of the 6th stage, a long slider will await you.
This Activity is designed to compete with your friends, children, and parents.

  • Stage2:”Quick Spider” climb the net to press the buttons.
  • Stage3:”Ball Pool Search” buttons are hidden in the ball pool.

  • Stage5:”Quick Action Castle” go through the athletic and find the buttons.
  • Stage6:”Touch the Button” climb to the top of “water fall” of the ball and touch all buttons.

Kids and parents really enjoy this kind of area. If you can’t do with your kids, you can still go inside and take pictures or videos with your kids. Just like we did, my husband cannot do this because of his heart condition. He just shops at the home center while I’m with the kids watching them.

1-1-2022 First Sunrise of the Year (Hatsuhinode)

Hatsuhinode means the first sunrise of the year in Japan. It is a happy event for the Japanese because Toshigami who is a god of the New Year comes with it. People pray huge harvest and perfect health over the year in the past. Nowadays, they pray not only harvest and health but also various wishes.

Goraiko means also seeing a sunrise for getting the benefit, but it is different from Hatsuhinode in climbing a mountain or not. It means seeing the sunrise on a high mountain and is used not only as the first sunrise of the year. It is said that the higher a mountain is, the more benefit is gotten. Therefore, it is the happiest sunrise that to see the first sunrise of the year on a high mountain.

Have time to watch the video below.

However, to see that sunrise is difficult because of climbing winter mountains in the middle of the night. Mt. Fuji which is the highest mountain in Japan allows only professional climbers(alpinists) to climb it in winter. Because its path and mountain huts are closed in winter, so climbers cannot supply food and take refuge from bad weather. The temperature of Mt. Fuji in winter is minus 35 degrees Celsius(minus 31 degrees Fahrenheit), the wind is blowing at 20meters per second.

We have time to visit our rest house in Yamanashi.

Our resthouse but we didn’t go inside just the backyard only.

we visited also the Michi no Eki in Narusawa, Yamanashi which great view of Mt. Fuji.

stay safe everyone…
